I heard that this wasn't anonymous, this was a government ploy to make it look like anonymous was targeting them.

They (anonymous) themselves also said they have no interest in cyber-warefare with the government.

From what I'm seeing, a few of the major anonymous twitter channels are resonating with this same operation, either it is some sort of government ploy, or a lot of people are actually looking into this.

would the gov't actually put this on one of their webpages for that tho? ^^

My guess is the government wouldn't want ANYONE to know their stuff was able to be hacked, there wouldn't be a big deal about it. They would simply keep it hush-hush and try to stop anonymous by themselves. This is incredibly fishy, and Any skiddie can DdoS a website. it doesn't necessarily mean an entire group did it. There are some fanatics out there who are just as capable of pulling this off.
